Neighborhood Concert: Sidney Outlaw and Howard Watkins

St. Michael's Church

Baritone Sidney Outlaw has been called an "opera powerhouse" by the San Francisco Chronicle, an apt description for a singer who has brought his rich and versatile voice to title roles in Mozart's Don Giovanni and Anthony Davis's X, The Life and Times of Malcolm X, as well as the comical Dandini in Rossini's La Cenerentola.

Howard Watkins is a collaborative pianist who made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2002. An assistant conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, Watkins teaches at the Tanglewood Music Center, and has performed with tenor Rolando Villazón, violinist Sarah Chang, baritone Mariusz Kwiecień, and other stars.
